I was pleasantly surprised by this release. I really like the new vocalist too. It has that "Thundersteel" and "Privilege of Power" feel to it.

Need to hear this.

Immortal Soul was an incredible album. It was perfect IMO. I didn't hear about Tony Moore leaving again until recently and I was pretty worried cause I thought his voice and the lyrics on the last album were amazing. Whiskey Man was an instant classic. This review has gotten me so excited to hear the new album. What's it gonna take to make you Riot!!!

Awesome! Always stoked for a new Riot album. Will check this out shortly.

Great to see these guys carry on the Riot name. They're obviously not doing it for the money, but only to carry on the legacy that Mark Reale started way back with Rock City. Too bad that Tony Moore left (and started a new project called Big Muff Pi, lol!), but the new guy fits the sound of the band, very much in the mold of Thundersteel and Immortal Soul.

Never heard any previous albums before, but this is quality power metal, easily some of the best I've heard this year.

You need to hear Thundersteel now. Like right now.

Thanks for the recommendation, Walnut. I'm well impressed!

Not bad at all, boys. A couple of forgettable tracks but overall a fine effort worthy of the Riot name. The vocal harmonies really stand out for me on this release, especially on Land of the Rising Sun. New singer Todd Hall should have no problem filling the shoes of longtime wailer Tony Moore. Somewhere Mark Reale is smiling.
